Firdz Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Hi all, really would appreciate if anyone can help ID this algae. My tank is 8 weeks old and did water change last Sunday and it starts to pop up on Wednesday on my rocks and some starting to show on my sand also. Thanking in advance to all. Cheers Edited December 4, 2021 by Firdz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JiaEn Posted December 4, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted December 4, 2021 These are probably diatoms, which are common for new tanks. However, the only way to be sure, is to look at them under the microscope. If these are indeed diatoms, the problem should resolve on its own as the silicate in your aquarium becomes depleted naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firdz Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi JiaEn, thank u for your insight. Sure hope these spots will disappear in time. Just did some brushing and water change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
